Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE

And This Brahms Sonata (English)


'I went to the Garden of Love
And saw what I had never seen.'

         William Blake

The day is so blue and the roses so white
where the air of Italy comes to pour down its peace,
and this Brahms sonata that bleeds into the orange grove
like a deep wound in the silence of things.

translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges
